I mentioned recently that we went to Cogswell’s Grant on Spring St in Essex to observe Kite Day. We got there plenty early and had time to wander the grounds a bit. It’s been quite a while since I’ve been there and a spring day seemed like a perfect excuse for a walk around. The grounds are free access, the folk art museum has an admission charge if you are not a member of Historic New England (it’s worth seeing the exhibits if you care to). Anyhow, there’s something special about farms in the springtime.
